dhcpd will complain:
e.g
Mar 10 21:44:05 ares dhcpd: Both dynamic and static leases present for
192.168.0.100.
Mar 10 21:44:05 ares dhcpd: Either remove host declaration hera or remove
192.168.0.100
Mar 10 21:44:05 ares dhcpd: from the dynamic address pool for TNET_WIRED
I dont have that many machines that the range pool gets depleted so I cant
really say if the IP get's delegated to some other box if there's a host
decleration for a some "box".
However I dont think this is good practice.
